About Bob's Just Asking

There's a lot of stuff out there that I know little to nothing about. This podcast takes a deep dive into subject matter with experts on the subject matter being asked to provide primers on diverse subject matter. I'm not too proud to admit my ignorance and hope my listeners will learn a little something along the way (if not merely feel superior as they listen to my foolish questions).

   Bob's Just Asking Mike Connell About Ring

   Mike Connell is the principal songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and occasional singer for the band The Connells. They are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their landmark fifth album "Ring" this year. I'd been wanting to interview him for quite some time, so I was super excited to get this opportunity to sit down with the most humble, self-effacing rock musician you'll ever meet.
